Overnight Cinnamon Sugar Coffee Cake

After getting married, we adopted my in-law's family tradition of Christmas Eggs.

If an egg-based dish isn't your thing, how about a yummy cinnamon sugar coffee cake?

We'll be making this recipe this year along with our Christmas Eggs -- it's much easier and less time consuming than making fresh cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning, and tastes like you're enjoying one :)

Better still, this cake is easily made up ahead of time and requires an overnight stay in the refrigerator.

OMG this is a wonderful recipe!!! I LOVE the fact you can make it ahead of time! I think I'm going to sprinkle a few semi-sweet chocolate pieces in the filling too... Semi sweet choco and cinnamon is "To Die For"!!! or I bet a semi sweet choco glaze on top would be good too??? Thank you SO MUCH for this recipe...Hugs to you and Merry Christmas,Donna

I usually make a french toast casserole, but I like the idea of having eggs (protein) before all the treats of the day. Of course, I will probably make the crumb cake too. I would enjoy some frest cinnamon rolls with my tea that morning but it is too time consuming. Since you say it tastes similar I will give it a try. Thanks :)

When cooking, please make sure to follow kitchen hygiene and safety -- cook meat until internal temperature is at safe levels, always check labels for allergens, and use caution in the kitchen -- I love sharing recipes, but I am not liable for damages done as a result of trying these recipes.
